Does Your Brand Identity Tell Your Story in 90 Seconds?
FACT: We are visual people.
Scientific research show that we make snap judgments about products and companies within the first 90 seconds—and between 62% to 90% of that initial “gut feeling” is influenced by your brand’s identity.
Research also tells us that the human brain learns and reacts much faster to visuals than to text—in fact, 60,000 times as fast.
Brand Identity Tells a Chapter in Your Story
Your brand identity comprises all the visuals: from photography to color palettes, typography to logo design. Brand identity is what makes your company’s first impression on potential customers.
Ubiquitous logos have remained constant for decades, such as IBM, Nike, Fedex and Apple. That’s because their logos captured the company’s essence and capitalized on shape recognition that maps to the human brain.
Did you know seeing a logo in color makes it more memorable than seeing it in black and white? In fact, ads in color are viewed 42% more often than the same ads in black and white.

Alignment is Not About Your Car’s Front-End
Iconic, instantly recognizable brands tend to be fully aligned with their target audience. Unfortunately, very few companies actually take the time to understand and implement this strategy. Through our decades of working with companies to produce brand strategies, we’ve developed a process to achieve total brand alignment that works.
Fully aligned brands were rewarded with more than 200% their customers wallet share compared to unaligned brands.
